Park improvements

Ryelands Park

Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council, North Lancashire Primary Care Trust and the Friends of Ryelands Park are working together to help improve the park.

The partners have put together a draft plan for the future of Ryelands Park based on the views of local residents. These are currently only proposals and no decisions have been made. The final plan will enable us to secure funding to carry out improvements to the park.

Location

Ryelands Park is located on the main A6 road just to the north of the city across the river Lune.

The park was given to the residents of Lancaster by Lord Ashton, a local industrialist, whose family home was Ryelands House.

Facilities

All-weather multi games area marked out for tennis, basketball and 5-a-side football.

What are the future prospects for the park?

Lots of ideas have been put forward and it is hoped that in the future the park will offer more for a wider variety of people and age groups. Just some of the ideas people had include a BMX track, adult exercise area, community garden, dog exercise area, and cafe.

Funding has already been secured from United Utilities to improve the play area.
